A. I. Yakovlev, author of the historical novels "The Age of Philaret," "Alexander II," and "The Crown and the Cross," chronicles church life in Russia from 1918 to 1923, during the Soviet state's initial struggle against the Church. The book focuses on the activities of Patriarch Tikhon (Bellavin) of Moscow and All Russia, offering vivid portraits of Orthodox hierarchs and their opponents—leaders of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), GPU activists, and Renovationists. Among the characters are the heroes of "The Crown and the Cross": former revolutionary Lev Tikhomirov, merchant Ivan Postnikov, who became a monk, and Professor Alexei Lavrikov, all seeking their place in post-revolutionary Russia.
